B
（2023·天津和平·统考二模）I have one of those names that are hard to pronounce, so I never liked the first day of school. When teachers read through the attendance, I always knew when they came to my name: There would be hesitation, then a slow syllabic (音节的) pronunciation of my name. Before they would even finish, I would put up my hand and say, “That’s me. Just call me Sanj.”
Sanj is short for Sanjukta. It’s an Indian name derived from Sanskrit and it means “united”. Words are powerful and so are names. I like my name. It means more than diversity; it means connection.
When strangers see my name, I can tell that they are trying to figure out where I am from. Some ask me what type of name it is and I know that what they really want to ask is “Where are you from ”
Growing up, I answered that I am Canadian. I didn’t want to stand out as the Indian kid. I used to think it was impolite to ask someone where they are from — it may make someone feel like an outsider. But over time, I understand most people are just curious and want to make a connection. Now when someone asks me where I am from, I also ask them where they are from. The conversation gets interesting when this happens.
Recently, I was at a dinner where most of the guests had never met each other. At first, people asked about where others worked and lived. Then people asked about kids and dogs. People started feeling a lot more comfortable with each other, so I asked everyone where they are from. This is when the conversation really got lively. People started guessing each other’s nationalities like the ultimate party game. A woman from Jamaica told us she was going back for a wedding soon and was having trouble finding a green dress. A couple of Indian women at the table convinced her to check out an Indian clothing store and showed her a traditional Indian outfit that would look great on her. All of a sudden, all the talk about where we came from united us.
United. That is what my name means. When I introduce myself to people, I say, “My name is Sanj. It’s short for Sanjukta.” Then I tell them that is Indian and what it means. And just like that, the meaning of my name makes people united.
41．Why would the author say her name first before teachers did
A．They were not able to say her name correctly.

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章以我的名字为线索，主要提及了上学时我的名字导致老师无法正确读出，进而生活中人们对我的名字的好奇以及现在我面对人们的好奇时，我的乐于解释。说明我们要接受自己。
41．细节理解题。根据第一段中“I have one of those names that are hard to pronounce”（我有一个很难发音的名字）及“When teachers read through the attendance, I always knew when they came to my name: There would be hesitation, then a slow syllabic (音节的) pronunciation of my name. Before they would even finish, I would put up my hand and say, “That’s me. Just call me Sanj.””（当老师念出勤名单时，我总是知道当他们念到我的名字时，他们会犹豫一下，然后慢慢地念出我的名字。他们还没说完，我就举手说:“那就是我。”就叫我Sanj吧）可知，因为我的名字中有很难发音的字，所以在老师念到我的名字时，他们会在犹豫之后慢慢地念出我的名字，而我则会在老师没有念完我名字前就会说出我的名字。故选A。
42．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Sanj is short for Sanjukta. It’s an Indian name derived from Sanskrit and it means “united”.”（Sanj 是 Sanjukta 的简称，这是一个源自梵语的印度名字，意思是“联合”）及“ I like my name. It means more than diversity; it means connection.”（我喜欢我的名字。它不仅仅意味着多样性;它意味着联系）可知，我对自己的名字是喜欢的，因为它意味着联系，即要和人们彼此联系。故选B。
43．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Growing up, I answered that I am Canadian. I didn’t want to stand out as the Indian kid. I used to think it was impolite to ask someone where they are from — it may make someone feel like an outsider. But over time, I understand most people are just curious and want to make a connection. Now when someone asks me where I am from, I also ask them where they are from. The conversation gets interesting when this happens.”（长大后，我回答说我是加拿大人。我不想以印度小孩的身份引人注目。我过去认为问别人从哪里来是不礼貌的——这可能会让人觉得自己是外人。但随着时间的推移，我明白大多数人只是好奇，想要建立联系。现在，当有人问我来自哪里时，我也会问他们来自哪里。当这种情况发生时，谈话变得有趣起来）最后一段中“When I introduce myself to people, I say, “My name is Sanj. It’s short for Sanjukta.” Then I tell them that is Indian and what it means.”（当我向别人介绍自己时，我说:“我叫Sanj。它是Sanjukta的简称。”然后我告诉他们那是印度的，是什么意思）可知，当人们问起我是来自哪里时，我会回答人们的问题，随着我的长大，我也会问他们来自哪里。即我会向人们讲述我的名字的含义。故选A。
44．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“All of a sudden; all the talk about whb ere we came from united us.”（突然地;所有关于我们从哪里来的讨论让我们团结起来）可推知，因为我们的不同和差异，让人们变得相互团结起来。故选C。
45．主旨大意题。通读全文，文章在第一段中谈论了我在上学期间，老师碰到读我名字时的尴尬，进而在接下来的二、三、四段中提到我的名字的含义及人们看到我名字时的好奇；第五段引用了我的一次饭桌上的经历，人们就彼此的名字讲述各自的含义，最后一段提出，现在当别人再问我名字时，我会向他们讲述我的名字的来源及含义。综上可知，文章要表明的是我们要学会接受自己，选项B符合题意，故选B。
C
（2023·天津·校联考二模）Industry and educators all agree that the world needs creativity. There is interest in the field, lots of urging but very little action. Everyone is a bit scared of what to do next. On the question of creativity and imagination, they are mostly uncreative and unimaginative.
Educators seek artificial ways to change imaginative activity into problem-solving models that end up compromising the very creativity they celebrate. Creativity is often reduced to problem-solving. To be exact, you need imagination to solve many problems and creativity is part of what it takes. But problem-solving is far from the whole of creativity; and if you only focus creative thinking on problems and solutions, you will fall into a trap.
For teaching purposes, problems are an anxious place to cultivate creativity. If you think of anyone coming up with an idea — a new song, a dance step or a joke, it isn’t necessarily about a problem but rather an opportunity for the mind to exercise its independence. This is the purpose behind the theory of scholars now called “Big C Creativity”, which is the breakthrough kind of thinking that benefits culture or science, such as Mozart’s Alla Turca and Einstein’s theory of relativity. But the same is true of everyday “Small C Creativity” that isn’t specifically problem-based.
Enjoying the independence of the mind is the basis for naturally imaginative activity, like humor or amusing answers.
Our contemporary education systematically damages creativity and unintentionally punishes students for exercising their imagination. Schools use grades to evaluate students, which is a passive attack to the imagination.
It might be indeed impossible to teach creativity but the least we can do for our students is to make school a safe place for imagination. My viewpoint is that learning outcomes are only good for uncreative study. For education to cultivate creativity and imagination, we need to stop asking students anxiously to follow demonstrable (可论证的) proofs learning which cause a burden to students’ imagination.
46．What can be learned from the first paragraph
A．Educators are uncreative in teaching.
B．The world has lost interest in creativity.
C．People fail to do much to become creative.
D．Educators have got down to cultivating creative students.
47．What’s the author’s attitude to educators changing creativity into problem-solving models
A．Positive. B．Indifferent. C．Neutral. D．Disapproving.
48．Which of the following is a “Big C Creativity”
A．Mike finds a way to solve a math problem.
B．Tom makes a discovery in the Biology field.
C．Darwin answers a question humorously
D．Mary learns to sing a new song.
49．According to the author, what can be done to help cultivate students’ creativity
A．Encouraging students to get rid of fixed rules of learning.
B．Helping students to obtain better learning outcomes.
C．Starting more classes to teach students creativity.
D．Providing students with a safe place to study.
50．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Why does the world need creativity
B．Why is it impossible to teach creativity
C．How can we solve problems more creatively
D．How can educators build better schools for students
【答案】46．C 47．D 48．B 49．A 50．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了虽然业界和教育工作者一致认为世界需要创造力，但是创造力是不能被教授的，并分析了原因。
46．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Industry and educators all agree that the world needs creativity. There is interest in the field, lots of urging but very little action. Everyone is a bit scared of what to do next. On the question of creativity and imagination, they are mostly uncreative and unimaginative.(业界和教育工作者一致认为，世界需要创造力。人们对这个领域很感兴趣，很多人在敦促，但很少有行动。每个人都有点害怕下一步该做什么。在创造力和想象力的问题上，他们大多是缺乏创造力和想象力的)”可知，虽然人们明白创造力的重要性，可是却没有做多少来拥有创造力。故选C。
47．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Educators seek artificial ways to change imaginative activity into problem-solving models that end up compromising the very creativity they celebrate. Creativity is often reduced to problem-solving. To be exact, you need imagination to solve many problems and creativity is part of what it takes. But problem-solving is far from the whole of creativity; and if you only focus creative thinking on problems and solutions, you will fall into a trap.(教育工作者寻求人为的方法，将富有想象力的活动转变为解决问题的模式，最终损害了他们所颂扬的创造力。创造力往往被简化为解决问题。准确地说，你需要想象力来解决许多问题，而创造力是解决问题所需要的一部分。但解决问题远不是创造力的全部；如果你只把创造性思维集中在问题和解决方案上，你就会陷入一个陷阱)”可推知，作者对于教育者将创造力转变为解决问题的模式非常反对，作者认为这样的教育方式最终损害了教育者所颂扬的创造力。故选D。
48．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“For teaching purposes, problems are an anxious place to cultivate creativity. If you think of anyone coming up with an idea — a new song, a dance step or a joke, it isn’t necessarily about a problem but rather an opportunity for the mind to exercise its independence. This is the purpose behind the theory of scholars now called “Big C Creativity”, which is the breakthrough kind of thinking that benefits culture or science, such as Mozart’s Alla Turca and Einstein’s theory of relativity.(从教学的角度来说，问题是培养创造力的好地方。如果你想到有人想出了一个主意——一首新歌、一个舞步或一个笑话，它不一定是关于一个问题，而是一个让大脑锻炼其独立性的机会。这就是学者们所谓的“大C创造力”理论背后的目的，这是一种有利于文化或科学的突破性思维，比如莫扎特的《土耳其进行曲》和爱因斯坦的相对论。)”可知，所谓的“大C创造力”指的是思维或科学的突破。由此推知，四个选项中的选项B“Tom makes a discovery in the Biology field.(汤姆在生物学领域有了新发现)”指的是在科学领域的新发现。故选B。
49．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“It might be indeed impossible to teach creativity but the least we can do for our students is to make school a safe place for imagination. My viewpoint is that learning outcomes are only good for uncreative study. For education to cultivate creativity and imagination, we need to stop asking students anxiously to follow demonstrable(可论证的) proofs learning which cause a burden to students’ imagination.(教授创造力可能是不可能的，但我们至少可以为学生做的是让学校成为一个想象的安全场所。我的观点是，学习成果只对非创造性的学习有好处。为了培养创造力和想象力，我们需要停止要求学生焦虑地遵循可论证的学习方法，这对学生的想象力造成了负担)”可知，作者认为如果想要培养学生的创造力，教师可以鼓励学生摆脱固定的学习方法。故选A。
50．主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Educators seek artificial ways to change imaginative activity into problem-solving models that end up compromising the very creativity they celebrate. Creativity is often reduced to problem-solving. To be exact, you need imagination to solve many problems and creativity is part of what it takes. But problem-solving is far from the whole of creativity; and if you only focus creative thinking on problems and solutions, you will fall into a trap.(教育工作者寻求人为的方法，将富有想象力的活动转变为解决问题的模式，最终损害了他们所颂扬的创造力。创造力往往被简化为解决问题。准确地说，你需要想象力来解决许多问题，而创造力是解决问题所需要的一部分。但解决问题远不是创造力的全部；如果你只把创造性思维集中在问题和解决方案上，你就会陷入一个陷阱)”可知，作者认为教育工作者目前的教学方法并不能培养创造力；而根据倒数第二段“Our contemporary education systematically damages creativity and unintentionally punishes students for exercising their imagination. Schools use grades to evaluate students, which is a passive attack to the imagination.(我们的当代教育系统地损害了创造力，无意中惩罚了学生发挥想象力的行为。学校用分数来评价学生，这是对想象力的被动攻击)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要分析了创造力不能教授的原因。由此可知，“Why is it impossible to teach creativity (为什么不可能教授创造力？)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选B。
D
（2023·天津和平·统考二模）Scientists who study happiness know that being kind to others can improve well-being. Acts as simple as buying a cup of coffee for someone can boost a person’s mood, for example. Everyday life affords many opportunities for such actions, yet people do not always take advantage of them.
In studies published online in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, a behavioral scientist and I examined a possible explanation: people who perform random acts of kindness underestimate how much recipients value their behavior.
In one experiment, participants at an ice-skating rink in a public park gave away hot chocolate on a cold winter’s day. Although the people giving out the hot chocolate saw the act as relatively insignificant, it really mattered to the recipients. Our research also revealed one reason that people may underestimate their action’s impact. When we asked one set of participants to estimate how much someone would like getting a cupcake simply, for participating in a study, for example, their predictions were well calibrated (校准) with recipients’ reactions. But when people received cupcakes through a random act of kindness, the cupcake givers underestimated how positive their recipients would feel. Recipients of these unexpected actions tend to focus more on warmth than performers do.
Missing the importance of warmth may stand in the way of being kinder in daily life. People know that cupcakes given in kindness can make them feel surprisingly good. If people undervalue this effect, they might not bother to carry out these warm, prosocial behaviors (亲社会行为).
And kindness can be contagious (传染的). In another experiment, we had people play an economic game that allowed us to examine what are sometimes called “pay it forward” effects. In this game, participants allocated money between themselves and a person whom they would never meet. People who had just been on the receiving end of a kind act gave substantially more to an anonymous (无名的) person than those who had not. The person who performed the initial act did not recognize that their generosity would spill over in these downstream interactions.
These findings suggest that what might seem small when we are deciding whether or not to do something nice for someone else could matter a great deal to the person we do it for. Given that these warm gestures can enhance our own mood and brighten the day of another person, why not choose kindness when we can
51．Why do people often fail to show kindness to others
A．They don’t know how to demonstrate their happiness clearly.
B．They can’t effectively take opportunities to be kind daily.
C．They undervalue the positive impact their kindness made.
D．They have no idea how to perform random acts of kindness.
52．Those who gave away hot chocolate at an ice-skating rink would ________.
A．feel more motivated with the recipients’ reactions
B．inspire strangers to follow their examples
C．expect more appreciation from recipients
D．think nothing of the random act of kindness
53．What can we learn about the cupcake receivers from the third paragraph
A．They overestimated the positive impact of the random kindness.
B．They attached more significance to unexpected acts of kindness.
C．They responded differently to the predictions after the experiment.
D．They longed for more opportunities to participate in similar studies.
54．What’s the main idea of paragraph 5
A．People sometimes suffer from “pay it forward” effect.
B．A kind act can earn people more economic benefits.
C．Generosity sometimes can be recognized initially.
D．Kindness can inspire people to follow one another.
55．What could be the best title for the passage
A．Kindness can have unexpected positive effect
B．Kindness can bring different people together
C．What should we do to ensure happiness in life
D．How can people get happiness without efforts
【答案】51．C 52．D 53．B 54．D 55．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是一项研究发现，做善事可以给自己和他人带来意想不到的积极的影响。
51．细节理解题。根据第四段“Missing the importance of warmth may stand in the way of being kinder in daily life. People know that cupcakes given in kindness can make them feel surprisingly good. If people undervalue this effect, they might not bother to carry out these warm, prosocial behaviors (亲社会行为).(忽视温暖的重要性可能会阻碍你在日常生活中变得更友善。人们知道，善意的纸杯蛋糕会让他们感觉非常好。如果人们低估了这种影响，他们可能就不会费心去做这些温暖的、亲社会的行为)”可知，正是因为人们对善意带给他人的积极影响的低估，进而导致人们不会去做这些温暖的、亲社会的行为。故选C。
52．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Although the people giving out the hot chocolate saw the act as relatively insignificant, it really mattered to the recipients.(尽管分发热巧克力的人认为这一行为相对微不足道，但对接受者来说确实很重要)”可知，分发热巧克力的人认为这一行为相对微不足道。故选D。
53．细节理解题。根据第三段中“But when people received cupcakes through a random act of kindness, the cupcake givers underestimated how positive their recipients would feel. Recipients of these unexpected actions tend to focus more on warmth than performers do.(但是，当人们通过随机的善意行为收到纸杯蛋糕时，纸杯蛋糕赠送者低估了接受者的积极感受。这些意外行为的接受者往往比 执行者更关注温暖)”可知，接受者更加关注这种意外行为带给他们的温暖。故选B。
54．主旨大意题。根据第五段首句“And kindness can be contagious(善良是会传染的)”及下文“In another experiment, we had people play an economic game that allowed us to examine what are sometimes called “pay it forward” effects. In this game, participants allocated money between themselves and a person whom they would never meet. People who had just been on the receiving end of a kind act gave substantially more to an anonymous (无名的) person than those who had not. The person who performed the initial act did not recognize that their generosity would spill over in these downstream interactions.(在另一个实验中，我们让人们玩一个经济游戏，让我们检查有时被称为“传递”的效应。在这个游戏中，参与者在他们自己和一个他们永远不会见的人之间分配钱。那些刚刚接受了善举的人给匿名者的钱比没有接受善举的人多得多。做出最初行为的人没有意识到他们的慷慨会在这些下游的互动中溢出)”可知，第一句为本段的主题句，因而本段主要讲述善良可以激励人们相互效仿。故选D。
55．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段“In studies published online in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, a behavioral scientist and I examined a possible explanation: people who perform random acts of kindness underestimate how much recipients value their behavior.(在《实验心理学杂志》在线发表的研究中，一位行为科学家和我研究了一种可能的解释：那些随机做出善举的人低估了接受者对他们行为的重视程度)”及下文内容可知，本文主要讲述一项研究成果：随意的善举会带来意想不到的积极的影响。由此可知，Kindness can have unexpected positive effect适合作本文最佳标题。故选A。

阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
（2023·天津河北·统考二模）
Monday started as an ordinary day for Shannon St. Onge, who lived in Pense, a town in Saskatchewan, Canada. She drove the approximately 25 kilometres east into Regina for work.
She kept an eye on highway conditions throughout the day. The weather network was warning of a blizzard. Expected start time was at around 7 pm, but she thought she could make it. “I bought a takeout for the kids, filled my gas tank, replaced my broken phone charger and then headed home around 5:30 before the storm hit,” she wrote in a Facebook post.
She took a dirt road because she thought it would be better for the winter driving conditions. Just as the pavement turned into gravel (碎石路), the wind picked up and visibility started to diminish (降低). She drove at a snail’s pace with her window rolled down, using the edge as her guide. After a while she realized she was lost. Whiteout conditions left her confused.
She could make out a sign that said “Bouvier Lane,” giving her some sense of where she was. Then she posted her location on the Pense community Facebook page in hopes that someone might be able to find her. That was when 80-year-old Andre Bouvier Sr. figured out her location. Despite his wife’s concern for his well-being, he decided to help her and headed out in the storm.
He bundled up (使穿得暖和), grabbed an LED flashlight and walked about half a kilometre into the raging storm to search for St. Onge’s car. To Bouvier’s surprise, he found two other cars with people who also needed help trapped alongside St. Onge. He led the seven lost people back to his home and welcomed them in for the evening.
Bouvier became a hero overnight. Bouvier didn’t want much credit for his efforts for a stranger in need. “Everybody would have done the same thing,” he said. “You don’t think about it; you just do it.”
56．Why did St. Onge still drive home although she heard about the approaching blizzard (no more than 10 words)
57．What made driving difficult according to Paragraph 3 (no more than 10 words)
58．How do you understand the underlined word in Paragraph 5 (1 word)
59．How did Bouvier help the lost people (no more than 15 words)
60．What do you think of Bouvier Please explain. (no more than 20 words)
【答案】56．Because she thought she could make it. / Because she thought she would get homeback before the blizzard. 57．That the wind picked up and visibility diminished. 58．Fierce. / Violent. / Strong. / Heavy. / Powerful. 59．He walked into the storm to find lost people and led them to his home. 60．Open/kindhearted. Because he took the risk of his own safety to help strangers.
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了一位80岁的老人Andre Bouvier Sr.在暴风雨中去营救迷路的一位女子Shannon St. Onge，意外救了另外六人并留宿他们的暖心故事。
56．考查细节理解。根据第二段“Expected start time was at around 7 pm, but she thought she could make it. ‘I bought a takeout for the kids, filled my gas tank, replaced my broken phone charger and then headed home around 5:30 before the storm hit,’ she wrote in a Facebook post.(预计开始时间是晚上7点左右，但她认为自己能赶上。她在脸书上写道：‘我给孩子们买了外卖，加满油，换了坏掉的手机充电器，然后在暴风雨来袭前5点半左右回家’)”可知，她做好了准备，计算好了时间，认为自己可以在暴风雨来临前成功到家。故答案为Because she thought she could make it. / Because she thought she would get home before the blizzard.
57．考查细节理解。根据第三段“Just as the pavement turned into gravel (碎石路), the wind picked up and visibility started to diminish (降低). She drove at a snail’s pace with her window rolled down, using the edge as her guide. After a while she realized she was lost.(就在人行道变成砾石的时候，风开始刮起来，能见度开始下降。她摇下车窗，以边缘为向导，以蜗牛般的速度开车。过了一会儿，她意识到自己迷路了)”可知，是因为风越来越大，能见度降低是她开车行驶变得越来越难。故答案为That the wind picked up and visibility diminished.
58．考查词义猜测。根据上文Shannon St. Onge在暴风雨中迷失方向及划线词下一句“To Bouvier’s surprise, he found two other cars with people who also needed help trapped alongside St. Onge.(令布维耶惊讶的是，他发现另外两辆车也有需要帮助的人被困在St. Onge旁边)”可知，那么多人因为暴风雨而迷路，由此可知，暴风雨非常猛烈。故答案为Fierce. / Violent. / Strong. / Heavy. / Powerful.
59．考查细节理解。根据第四段“Despite his wife’s concern for his well-being, he decided to help her and headed out in the storm. (尽管他的妻子担心他的健康，他还是决定帮助她，并在暴风雨中出发了)”及第五段“He bundled up (使穿得暖和), grabbed an LED flashlight and walked about half a kilometre into the raging storm to search for St. Onge’s car. To Bouvier’s surprise, he found two other cars with people who also needed help trapped alongside St. Onge. He led the seven lost people back to his home and welcomed them in for the evening.(他穿上暖和的衣服，拿起一个LED手电筒，在狂风暴雨中走了大约半公里，寻找St. Onge的车。令布维耶惊讶的是，他发现另外两辆车也有需要帮助的人被困在St. Onge旁边。他把这七个迷路的人带回了自己的家，并欢迎他们在家里过夜)”可知。老人冒着暴风雨去找到迷路的人，并且把他们带回自己家过夜。故答案为He walked into the storm to find lost people and led them to his home.
60．考查推理判断。根据第四段“Then she posted her location on the Pense community Facebook page in hopes that someone might be able to find her. That was when 80-year-old Andre Bouvier Sr. figured out her location. Despite his wife’s concern for his well-being, he decided to help her and headed out in the storm.(然后，她在Pense社区的Facebook页面上发布了自己的位置，希望有人能找到她。就在那时，80岁的老安德烈·布维耶发现了她的位置。尽管他的妻子担心他的健康，他还是决定帮助她，并在暴风雨中出发了)”及第五段“He led the seven lost people back to his home and welcomed them in for the evening.(他把这七个迷路的人带回了自己的家，并欢迎他们在家里过夜)”可知，老人自己年纪大，暴风雨又那么危险，老人去解救遇险的陌生人，并带他们回自己家过夜，可见老人心胸宽广，无私善良。故答案为Open/kindhearted. Because he took the risk of his own safety to help strangers.

（2023·天津和平·统考二模）I have one of those names that are hard to pronounce, so I never liked the first day of school. When teachers read through the attendance, I always knew when they came to my name: There would be hesitation, then a slow syllabic (音节的) pronunciation of my name. Before they would even finish, I would put up my hand and say, “That’s me. Just call me Sanj.”
Sanj is short for Sanjukta. It’s an Indian name derived from Sanskrit and it means “united”. Words are powerful and so are names. I like my name. It means more than diversity; it means connection.
When strangers see my name, I can tell that they are trying to figure out where I am from. Some ask me what type of name it is and I know that what they really want to ask is “Where are you from ”
Growing up, I answered that I am Canadian. I didn’t want to stand out as the Indian kid. I used to think it was impolite to ask someone where they are from — it may make someone feel like an outsider. But over time, I understand most people are just curious and want to make a connection. Now when someone asks me where I am from, I also ask them where they are from. The conversation gets interesting when this happens.
Recently, I was at a dinner where most of the guests had never met each other. At first, people asked about where others worked and lived. Then people asked about kids and dogs. People started feeling a lot more comfortable with each other, so I asked everyone where they are from. This is when the conversation really got lively. People started guessing each other’s nationalities like the ultimate party game. A woman from Jamaica told us she was going back for a wedding soon and was having trouble finding a green dress. A couple of Indian women at the table convinced her to check out an Indian clothing store and showed her a traditional Indian outfit that would look great on her. All of a sudden, all the talk about where we came from united us.
United. That is what my name means. When I introduce myself to people, I say, “My name is Sanj. It’s short for Sanjukta.” Then I tell them that is Indian and what it means. And just like that, the meaning of my name makes people united.

（2023·天津·校联考二模）Industry and educators all agree that the world needs creativity. There is interest in the field, lots of urging but very little action. Everyone is a bit scared of what to do next. On the question of creativity and imagination, they are mostly uncreative and unimaginative.
Educators seek artificial ways to change imaginative activity into problem-solving models that end up compromising the very creativity they celebrate. Creativity is often reduced to problem-solving. To be exact, you need imagination to solve many problems and creativity is part of what it takes. But problem-solving is far from the whole of creativity; and if you only focus creative thinking on problems and solutions, you will fall into a trap.
For teaching purposes, problems are an anxious place to cultivate creativity. If you think of anyone coming up with an idea — a new song, a dance step or a joke, it isn’t necessarily about a problem but rather an opportunity for the mind to exercise its independence. This is the purpose behind the theory of scholars now called “Big C Creativity”, which is the breakthrough kind of thinking that benefits culture or science, such as Mozart’s Alla Turca and Einstein’s theory of relativity. But the same is true of everyday “Small C Creativity” that isn’t specifically problem-based.
Enjoying the independence of the mind is the basis for naturally imaginative activity, like humor or amusing answers.
Our contemporary education systematically damages creativity and unintentionally punishes students for exercising their imagination. Schools use grades to evaluate students, which is a passive attack to the imagination.
It might be indeed impossible to teach creativity but the least we can do for our students is to make school a safe place for imagination. My viewpoint is that learning outcomes are only good for uncreative study. For education to cultivate creativity and imagination, we need to stop asking students anxiously to follow demonstrable (可论证的) proofs learning which cause a burden to students’ imagination.
46．What can be learned from the first paragraph
A．Educators are uncreative in teaching.
B．The world has lost interest in creativity.
C．People fail to do much to become creative.
D．Educators have got down to cultivating creative students.
47．What’s the author’s attitude to educators changing creativity into problem-solving models
A．Positive. B．Indifferent. C．Neutral. D．Disapproving.
48．Which of the following is a “Big C Creativity”
A．Mike finds a way to solve a math problem.
B．Tom makes a discovery in the Biology field.
C．Darwin answers a question humorously
D．Mary learns to sing a new song.
49．According to the author, what can be done to help cultivate students’ creativity
A．Encouraging students to get rid of fixed rules of learning.
B．Helping students to obtain better learning outcomes.
C．Starting more classes to teach students creativity.
D．Providing students with a safe place to study.
50．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Why does the world need creativity
B．Why is it impossible to teach creativity
C．How can we solve problems more creatively
D．How can educators build better schools for students
D
（2023·天津和平·统考二模）Scientists who study happiness know that being kind to others can improve well-being. Acts as simple as buying a cup of coffee for someone can boost a person’s mood, for example. Everyday life affords many opportunities for such actions, yet people do not always take advantage of them.
In studies published online in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, a behavioral scientist and I examined a possible explanation: people who perform random acts of kindness underestimate how much recipients value their behavior.
In one experiment, participants at an ice-skating rink in a public park gave away hot chocolate on a cold winter’s day. Although the people giving out the hot chocolate saw the act as relatively insignificant, it really mattered to the recipients. Our research also revealed one reason that people may underestimate their action’s impact. When we asked one set of participants to estimate how much someone would like getting a cupcake simply, for participating in a study, for example, their predictions were well calibrated (校准) with recipients’ reactions. But when people received cupcakes through a random act of kindness, the cupcake givers underestimated how positive their recipients would feel. Recipients of these unexpected actions tend to focus more on warmth than performers do.
Missing the importance of warmth may stand in the way of being kinder in daily life. People know that cupcakes given in kindness can make them feel surprisingly good. If people undervalue this effect, they might not bother to carry out these warm, prosocial behaviors (亲社会行为).
And kindness can be contagious (传染的). In another experiment, we had people play an economic game that allowed us to examine what are sometimes called “pay it forward” effects. In this game, participants allocated money between themselves and a person whom they would never meet. People who had just been on the receiving end of a kind act gave substantially more to an anonymous (无名的) person than those who had not. The person who performed the initial act did not recognize that their generosity would spill over in these downstream interactions.
These findings suggest that what might seem small when we are deciding whether or not to do something nice for someone else could matter a great deal to the person we do it for. Given that these warm gestures can enhance our own mood and brighten the day of another person, why not choose kindness when we can
51．Why do people often fail to show kindness to others
A．They don’t know how to demonstrate their happiness clearly.
B．They can’t effectively take opportunities to be kind daily.
C．They undervalue the positive impact their kindness made.
D．They have no idea how to perform random acts of kindness.
52．Those who gave away hot chocolate at an ice-skating rink would ________.
A．feel more motivated with the recipients’ reactions
B．inspire strangers to follow their examples
C．expect more appreciation from recipients
D．think nothing of the random act of kindness
53．What can we learn about the cupcake receivers from the third paragraph
A．They overestimated the positive impact of the random kindness.
B．They attached more significance to unexpected acts of kindness.
C．They responded differently to the predictions after the experiment.
D．They longed for more opportunities to participate in similar studies.
54．What’s the main idea of paragraph 5
A．People sometimes suffer from “pay it forward” effect.
B．A kind act can earn people more economic benefits.
C．Generosity sometimes can be recognized initially.
D．Kindness can inspire people to follow one another.
55．What could be the best title for the passage

B．Kindness can bring different people together

（2023·天津河北·统考二模）
Monday started as an ordinary day for Shannon St. Onge, who lived in Pense, a town in Saskatchewan, Canada. She drove the approximately 25 kilometres east into Regina for work.
She kept an eye on highway conditions throughout the day. The weather network was warning of a blizzard. Expected start time was at around 7 pm, but she thought she could make it. “I bought a takeout for the kids, filled my gas tank, replaced my broken phone charger and then headed home around 5:30 before the storm hit,” she wrote in a Facebook post.
She took a dirt road because she thought it would be better for the winter driving conditions. Just as the pavement turned into gravel (碎石路), the wind picked up and visibility started to diminish (降低). She drove at a snail’s pace with her window rolled down, using the edge as her guide. After a while she realized she was lost. Whiteout conditions left her confused.
She could make out a sign that said “Bouvier Lane,” giving her some sense of where she was. Then she posted her location on the Pense community Facebook page in hopes that someone might be able to find her. That was when 80-year-old Andre Bouvier Sr. figured out her location. Despite his wife’s concern for his well-being, he decided to help her and headed out in the storm.
He bundled up (使穿得暖和), grabbed an LED flashlight and walked about half a kilometre into the raging storm to search for St. Onge’s car. To Bouvier’s surprise, he found two other cars with people who also needed help trapped alongside St. Onge. He led the seven lost people back to his home and welcomed them in for the evening.
Bouvier became a hero overnight. Bouvier didn’t want much credit for his efforts for a stranger in need. “Everybody would have done the same thing,” he said. “You don’t think about it; you just do it.”
